The frequency radiation emitted when the electron falls from $\mathrm{n}=4$ to $n=1$ in a hydrogen atom will be (Given ionization energy of $\mathrm{H}=2.18 \times 10^{-18} \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{atom}^{-1}$ and $h$ $\left.=6.625 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{Js}\right)$ :
  1. $1.54 \times 10^{15} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$
  2. $1.03 \times 10^{15} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$
  3. $3.08 \times 10^{15} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$
  4. $2.00 \times 10^{15} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$

Solution

$\mathrm{E}=h \mathrm{v}$ or $\mathrm{v}=\frac{\mathrm{E}}{h}$ For $\mathrm{H}$ atom, $\begin{aligned} E & =\frac{-21.76 \times 10^{-19}}{n^2} \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~atm}^{-1} \\ \Delta E & =-21.76 \times 10^{-19}\left(\frac{1}{4^2}-\frac{1}{1^2}\right) \end{aligned}$ $\begin{aligned} & =20.40 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~atm}^{-1} \\ v & =\frac{20.40 \times 10^{-19}}{6.625 \times 10^{-34}} \\ & =3.079 \times 10^{15} \mathrm{~s}^{-1} . \end{aligned}$
